Phirom Coffee Lab

Where flavour begins

Origins

Every mountain tastes different, so every bag tells you the farm, the altitude and the process.

Peaberry

What is a peaberry?

A coffee cherry usually holds two flat-sided seeds. Now and then it grows just one — small, round and oval, with no flat side. That is a peaberry, only about 3–5% of the harvest. Its round shape rolls evenly in the roaster, so it roasts evenly all the way through.

Doi Chang · Huai Chomphu

Chiang Rai

Home of the peaberry in every cup we pour, and of Golden Cherry — Yellow Bourbon from Phirom's own farm. Huai Chomphu gives us an anaerobic lot with a whiskey nose.

Chiang Mai

Thep Sadej, Doi Saket · 1,300 m

Chiang Mai

A GI-registered, shade-grown coffee. Washed process brings out wildflower, black tea and honey.

Nan

Manee Preuk · 1,400–1,600 m

Nan

Cool all year round, so cherries ripen slowly: juicy sweetness with peach, prune and oolong.

Lampang

Ban Pa Miang · Chae Son watershed forest

Lampang

Our newest lot, grown under natural forest canopy above 1,000 m: plum, black tea and wild berry.
